A Saturday Evening, Canadian Houliday Weekend Open Thread

It’s the annual Victoria Day weekend up here in the Great White North,

almost all of which has finally thawed out from what seemed to be an average winter that hung around a bit longer than expected.

Also expected – most of my fellow Canadians are on the road to somewhere today.

Me? Well, WineWife is away on a work trip, so my options for fun are both boundless & restricted. If I have too much fun, there’s hell to pay upon her return. Not enough fun makes the freedom seem like a wasted effort. The trick, as always, is to supplement the fun with pictures of her dogs having fun before, after or with. It shows “responsibility”, an essential trait that needs to be nourished in a 50 year-old man.

Pre-game for GWS-Carlton, “one of the [GWS] board members smacked the players for their effort last week, so expect a response.”

Um, ok, is that response some players punching a board member in the dick?

Jesus, Richmond is playing scared. Not unlike the time I dated a woman who was marriage crazy in our early 20s, I regret putting the tip in.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Spoiler

Did I reverse jinx Richmond?!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I feel comfortable going to bed at the half. Holy fuck is Carlton terrible. And is GWS a lot better when they’re actually tackling.

I love that the robot guy on Doom Patrol is played by Brendan Frasier.

Just a reminder that April Bowlby is most famous for this:

If you had DJ Khaled and Pitbull on the same track, would there be any verse or chorus?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Evening. I kind of want to stay up for the GWS game but am also already drunk and tired.

yeah right

You are warmly welcomed.
Grab a pillow.
And a beer.

Don’t cost nothin.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Potential cost of my ability to wake up in the morning and go on a very long walk

Brick Meathook

Stay up and tell us all about your ball waxing!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Oh, I did more than the ball waxing, friend…

Brick Meathook

Asshole bleaching?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

No bleaching. But I did the balls, butt, back, shoulders treatment. She warned me not to kick her through the window when she was waxing my asshole.

Brick Meathook

You are soooo L.A. now. Give that man a vegan burger.

OK, so I’m supposed to go pick her up, and then we go to a sports bar which is open until 3am.
But I can’t stop fucking yawning.

I am so fucking old.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Good luck sir!

Mr. Ayo

This is why blow was invented.

Brick Meathook

Remember your “red flag rule” from yesterday.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Hats off to Portland for their impressive feat of symmetry: 66 points in the first half, 33 points in the second!

Mr. Ayo

66 – 6 + 3×3 = GRONK

Senor Weaselo

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

rockingdog

yoooooo
warriors up by 11

Gratliff

Much like Breazeale, I’m just here for the right hook

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s like watching a bully torment a weakling. “Don’t hit your own head with your shoulder. Why are you hitting your own head with your shoulder?”

Mr. Ayo

Pretty short highlight. Damn.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

These next two or three minutes will be the effective end of the Trailblazers’ season.

Mr. Ayo

More like R.I.P. City imho.

Col. Duke LaCross

Wilder cooled him in about fifty five seconds.

yeah right

Showtime has lots of dead air to fill.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Not to one-up TWBS but I have a sexy hotel receptionist story of my own. I was in Tehachapi doing some measurements for the California High Speed Rail. The receptionist was very flirty and made a point of letting me know where she planned to getting a drink later when her shift was over. Then I went up to my room and went to sleep because I’m married.

Mr. Ayo

So… how did those “measurements” turn out?

theeWeeBabySeamus

LOL

yeah right

Dude! I’ve slept in Tehachapi!
Former mrs. right had a brother there. Firefighter for Kern County and an unbelievably wonderful human being.

Guess I’m saying I had sex in Tehachapi.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

With her brother?

yeah right

No man. With her sister!

Brick Meathook

Yes but did you see the Tehachapi Railroad Loop?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Is that when you sleep with your wife’s sister AND brother?

So very inebriated. My sleepibg spawn seems ro enjoy Robert Smith, perfect.

Col. Duke LaCross

Wilder’s entrance was… interesting.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I was wrong. Asian girl is not relieving her overnight. She also gets off at 11pm.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hopefully, ttWBS gets off between midnight and 2am..

Mr. Ayo

Keep tugging chap, it’ll happen!

Trout just hit a 473-foot dong. It was his 250th. He’s 27.

Gonna see if it’s too late to adopt him brb.

SonOfSpam

According to Mark Gubicza (Angels’ color guy), that was Trout’s 69th 1st inning homer.

NICE.

He does have an advantage over other players in that he gets every October off.

Dave Attell is incredible. My wife hates him. “Seems like he smells bad.”

That’s very likely to be true, but he’s still consistently hilarious.

Senor Weaselo

You know the episode of Insomniac where he gets tossed around at a karate and jiujutsu dojo? I went there!
/I was a wee pup so not in that class

Oh shit. The girl taking over for her overnight just showed up. Hot Asian chick. This could end up interesting if I can manage to not fuck it up.

So yeah, I kinda just picked up the girl working the front desk at my hotel. Dinner and a movie when she gets off at 11.

Also, it’s raining like a sumbitch..

I’ll let you know later. I hope.

Nice!

Mr. Ayo

Atta boy!

Three way with WCS?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Nah we had a nice time today. Really enjoyed meeting mrs Wcs also. But I have now moved further north.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I am going to get ahead of things here and insist that you cut off all contact with her immediately.

SonOfSpam

You magnificent bastard.

Redshirt

BANNER THIS! Please?

Either that or shut down the site. I think Rikki’s won this thing.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hehehe…which one?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It can’t be both.

King Hippo

I mean, you could probably catch a film with a guy blowing a gorilla at 2am in Balmer…

King Hippo

(but that seems MOAR LIEK a 2nd or 3rd date)

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Most people do have a ‘no gorilla until the third date’ rule, since Jane Goodall got killed.

King Hippo

I meen its just common cents

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

No; her getting off and going out with tWBS…….

But I see your point.

theeWeeBabySeamus

My hotel room has HBO and the places deliver. COME ON MAN!!!!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I said HER getting off; no worries for you, man.

Meanwhile, if I get one more Restraining Order, I’ll get a free set of steak knifes.

yeah right

Michael Turner of the Nationals has played like 50 fucking games this season and has NO RBIs!
How is that even possible?

Redshirt

No baserunners on base ahead of him?

yeah right

Well he just struck out with runners on 2nd and 3rd so…

Senor Weaselo

With stats like that you’d think he plays for the Marlins!

yeah right

Got a little over eager in the kitchen today cooking meals for today, tomorrow and next fucking week!
All this after a 5.5 mile walk this morning. Fuck that. I’m done for the day.
Where’s my damn beer?

There’s a lesser footy “analyst” named Mark Ogden who came out with a starting XI underperforming squad. Aside from having Pogba on the list, despite him leading every offensive category for United as a CM, this shit stain also has Gabriel Jesus on the list.

That’s the same Gabriel Jesus that has 20 goals on 21 starts. How is this mother fucker allowed to write stuff?

King Hippo

that is some straight-up nonsense, yo

I actually got away with putting “unknown, sticky liquid” on the sidewalk multiple times. Maybe because it was salty and smelled vaguely of asparagus instead of sweet and maple-ly.

She’s easily the best actress in “Doom Patrol”. Most of them are good, but she’s literally acting for a dozen and she’s believable when she changes personalities.

One of the amusing things about doing a paper on South African lesser footy is looking at the nicknames of players. Like, there’s actually a player who was given the nickname of Hitler. Lol

herodotus450

Well a lot of NFL players have that nickname, too. Oh, you said HitLer.
